Japanese Kimono Designs (The International Design Library)

Rating:
Summary: Nice Black and White Silhouettes, But Not Very Helpful
Review: This is a small collection of some black and white examples of kimono. It may be useful for clip art, and general reference, as the images are lovely.

It is not, however, going to be helpful in researching Kimono for historic, costuming, or other purposes. It contains no text, only the large images. I think a basic book of Japanese/Oriental clip art would be more helpful. I have to give it credit though, for being inexpensive, and focusing on kimono in many forms.
